Customer Reviews

A Great Book of Reference!

I am starting to think that this is the best book so far onon all the aspects of working from home. They cover everything well and it is often looked over and over for tips. I keep it next to my computer.

Very good Reference

This book is solid and helps you in many different areas that you will need when staying home and pursuing an in home business. I was very satisfied with this book and would recommend it to anyone in this situation. Thank you!

Tells You What You Need To Know About Working From Home

If you want an all-in-one comprehensive work at home reference this is the book to buy. It contains useful information necessary for beginning and experience home workers. Almost everything you must consider before starting or operating your own self-employment venture is included. Covers topics such as marketing, finance, insurance, taxes, legal matters, motivation, organization, setting goals, time management, psychology, equipment and family considerations. Includes checklists, worksheets, diagrams, money saving tips, resources and interviews of people who work at home for a living. I thought this book was easy to read and understand. I can see why Paul and Sarah Edwards are considered experts on the subject of working from home.

The ESSENTIAL desk reference for those who work at home.

Several years ago, when it looked like my dream of working from my home could become reality, I picked up this book. (Then in its third edition.) It became my instruction manual for making the transition from small cubicle in a very large office building to a large (bedroom sized) office in my smallish home. Everything you need is there, from the philosophical (how do I live and work under the same roof?) to the practical (do I need a variance in my community), from the business of business (how do I attract business?), to the work of work (how do I organize all this clutter?). Its like a friendly office manager that knows everything. The fourth edition is technologically updated, and every bit as helpful. Even now that my business is somewhat established, I find the book especially useful as a first-place-to-look-reference for "do I need to worry about this" type questions.There are only two pieces of advise I can give those of you contemplating working from home: spend all your money on a comfortable office chair, and buy this book.

Very informative book

I thought this book gave a lot of great tips about starting and maintaining a home business. It has helped me succeed in what I do, and I truly beleive that anyone can work at home. Go for it! It's well worth the investment!
